This month, presenters Mary Bellofatto and Karen Adamsbaum will be providing an engaging, in-depth look at some of the most relevant issues we face living in today’s technology-driven world. Mary and Karen will be covering a host of topics, some of which include: Identity Theft, Cyber Liability, Data Breaches, and the role of both Business Owners and Workers Compensation Insurance. Don’t miss this opportunity to increase your awareness and understanding of how to best protect yourself, your business and your clients! This meeting will be CEU credit worthy.

As many of you know, Mary has been a part of NAPO and our chapter for over 6 years as a professional organizer and has worked in the financial planning and insurance industry as well. Mary and Karen met approximately 1.5 years ago at a NAPO-NNJ Chapter meeting that Karen attended as a guest. After discussing how they could work together combining their insurance and business experience, Mary accepted a full-time role with The John Morgan McLachlan Agency in January of this year and functions as a commercial lines account representative. When not working, Mary enjoys pursuing her many creative endeavors with paint and other art or craft mediums. She also plays indoor soccer, will play any sport you ask her to, and loves getting outside on foot or bike any chance she gets. Lastly, her teenage daughter, Italia, starts college in the fall — thank God only 2 hours away = HAPPY MOM :)
